Primary Swell
Swell Height
1.0m
Swell Period
10s
Steepness
180°
Wave height controls the number of voices and how low the chord reaches. Swell period controls the rate of volume cycles. Swell direction determines which intervals are used — consonant when on-angle, dissonant when off-angle.
Secondary (Wind Wave)
Wave Height
0.5m
Period
8s
Steepness
180°
A second independent chord stack with its own interval selection and volume cycle rate, running simultaneously with the primary swell.
Wind
Wind Condition
Wind Speed
5.0 m/s
Wind Direction
180°
Wind speed determines surface texture. Light wind produces clean tones. Semi-choppy conditions introduce amplitude tremolo. Choppy conditions produce inharmonic FM modulation. Offshore wind at surf breaks overrides speed-based classification.
Sig Wave Height
Water Temp
22.0°C
Tide Height
1.00m
Tide State
Water temperature maps to the tonic pitch. Tide height maps to reverb wet/dry mix and delay time — high tide adds reverb, low tide is dry with a short slapback delay.
